Most of the time I paint on canvas, but have used oils instead of acrylics at times. By working with these different mediums, it gives you a large choice as to what you would like to have me paint for you.

I work with oil paints, acrylic paints and china paint. China paint is fired on the tile and porcelain or ceramic dishes. It is a low fire paint, so I can paint on any tile or dish that can be fired.

I never use decals, so everything that I paint on the tile or dishes is permanent.

Decals sit on top of the glaze and will come off over time. When I fire the china paints, the glaze on the tile or dishes softens and the paint becomes a part of the glaze that is on the tile or dishes. If the design is coming off, it is because you are using a cleaner that is also taking the glaze off the tile. The dishes can be washed in the dishwasher.

I do have access to gold that can be used on dishes that go in the dishwasher. It comes from Europe. I also have glass paints that can be fired on clear glass. It is fired at a much lower temperature so the glass won’t slump. This gives you many choices as to what you would like painted for your home.

I have used acrylic paints to paint on natural stone that is used for tile. Once the paint is totally dry, the design must be protected with an excellent sealer that should be reapplied at regular intervals, depending on how often you wash the stone tile. I have used acrylic paints to paint on glass lamp bases or other items that cannot be fired. Always seal the acrylic paint.

I have taken some photos that are shown on here. I can have prints, cards, or stationary printed for you, using these photos.

If you are looking for something that I have not mentioned here, ask me about it and I will do some research and see what I can do for you. Please feel free to ask me any questions about what you would like to have me do for you.
